Introduction The marozi is a rare natural hybrid between the leopard and the lion, or an adult lion that may be retained its childhood spots. The marozi may also be called a spotted lion, is variously claimed by zoologists and cryptozoologists to be a distinct race of the lion that are adapted for living on the montane rather than like other lion liveing in the savanna-dwelling existence. This animal is a personal generation of what the leopard may becdome after 100 million years later in the future. In this page it will also examine the possible pressures of which may have led this animal to the envolvement of this evolution. Scientific Classification Of Marozi LevelClassification

Habitat The marozi are found on the adapted at the montane areas that are within Africa. The montane are areas that are located on the highland area that are located below the subalphine zone. The subalphine area are refer to the biotic zone that are immediately below the tree line around the world. The trees in the subalpine zone are often become krummholz which is crooked wood, stunned and twisted form. The tree seedling may germinate on the lee side of rocks and grow only as high as the rock povides for wind protection. This means that the marozi will rather be adapted in living in higlands rather than living on the savanna-dwelling existence.
The habitat area of the marozi has shown us that they are adapted to live in the temperature within the highland which often have cooler temperatures which may be between 15 to -15 degrees, the marozi are also adapted of living in places which has higher rainfall than the adjacent lowland regions, and the montane areas are frequently home to distinct communities of plants and animals that have the ability to live there. The marozi also prefer to stay within areas where there are trees to search for their prey and areas that are also close to rivers and lake that will provide them with enogh food resources.

The climate and the environment may also have change in the future and it is obvious that the marozi will be larger than modern leopard and lions, by the recessive genes that comes together between this two species will cause the envolvement of this species causing it to grow larger than it is in the present, and by living near lakes and river, the marozi may have the ability to swim and also climb trees that may come from genes from the leopard. The marozi may also develop better organs than previous big cats because since they are rather developed in living highlands and it will make them be more adaptable to it.

Adaptation, Body Structure and Diet
Body Structure A marozi are 5ft 10 1/2 in 1.79.1m long from the head and body without tail. The tail of the marozi are around 2ft 9 in 0.84m without tuff. The total length of it will be 8ft 8 in 2.64m. The marozi physical characteristic have a distinctive irregular spots or rosettes over the flanks, shoulder and thighs.The diameter of the largest spots are around 65 mm. The marozi have solid spot on their legs and in the abdominal area. It is very obvious on the underbelly due to the pelage ground colour being paler. The marozi have less spotting on the hind legs than their forelegs. The marozi appears to be bigger than modern leopard and lion by 5% to 10%.
Adaption The mirozi have good binocular vision like modern big cats, which allows it accurately to judge how far away objects are. At night the marozi see colours in black and white. The african leopard can see colour in the day , but not so well as humans can.The marozi alsohave a good hearing, that is much better than a human. The marozi which allows them to hear small animals rustling through the grass or even moving around in their burrows underground. The earflaps of the leopard helps concentrate sound waves deep into each ear. Both inside and outside, of the marozi are designed to be skilled hunters and killers.
The thick back and shoulder muscles helps the marozi to be excellent jumpers and climbers that are developed from their modern ancestor the leopard. The marozi have a very strong shoulder and neck muscles for attacking prey. The muscles also absorb some of the impact when the marozi pounces from high above from trees for attacking their prey. Behaviour
Since the marozi has a huge body-structure, it may be difficult for them to climb on high trees, but the marozi rather spend their time near cooler area like under the tree and prefer to sleep for 8 hours a day like the lion. The marozi body-structure was also made to be a very skilled hunter, this may allow them to burst sudden speed when catching their prey. Their paw and fangs are more sharper then modern cats, this allows them to crush their preys neck and immune system easily. The marozi will lives in group, unlike leopard they are loners. In their group there will nnormally be two males, 10 females and their cubs. The reproduction period of the marozi will be around Febuary to April which are the spring period. Each female marozi may give birth to two cubs each time.
Source 6: Marozi Sitting In Its Habitat Diet The marozi will prey on animals like buffalos, warthog, antelopes, monkeys and small animals. As the mirozi hunts it will lay themselve within tall grasses to prevent their prey from spotting them, the marozi uses its skin and spot as camouflage to blend in within the background. As it hunts it will burst a sudden speed to chase its prey, the marozi is smart enough to give up when they no they are not faster than their prey, because they lack the built of stamina, which will give them a disadvantage. It they got hold on their prey, it will use its paw as a hammer to blow their prey immune system causing it to fall down to the ground. Then the marozi will use their fangs like knife to cruch through their prey necks causing instant death to it. After hunting the marozi will normally eat their prey straight away, unlike leopard they will carry it and hide it on to a tree from other predators. The marozi will normally hunt in groups, and it is the female marozi that do the hunting like the lion.
